In Denmark a McDonald's combo meal will easily cost you 16 dollars. The workers there have a union contract. I eat way too much of that garbage but only because it is convenient and my partner and children are heathens who actually like it.

When the company pays for lunch at work I usually get a fancy Turkish pita with pieces of real beef, tzatziki, picked cabbage, chilis, the works with a soda and fries on the side. It costs tickles the same greasy slop spot that McDonald's do but it is so much more delicious and you don't feel greasy and violated afterwards. It costs 19 dollars. You really gets something for that markup.
